Editorial policy

This page documents how the content on kelseyqms.com is created, reviewed, and corrected. It covers our guides, the clause-by-clause crosswalks, and the regulatory requirements behind them — and it explains how you can tell us when we get something wrong.

Who writes Kelsey Quality content

We are a small team. Our content is produced and reviewed by people with direct experience in life-science quality management, working from the published standards themselves rather than from secondary summaries. We do not maintain a board of named outside experts, and we will not claim one we do not have. Where individual credentialed review adds value, we are adding it deliberately rather than retrofitting bylines; that work is tracked separately and will appear here when it ships.

How content is sourced

Every regulatory requirement we publish is traced to an authoritative source. For United States regulations, that is the official electronic Code of Federal Regulations; for standards published by ISO, IEC, and other bodies, it is the current released edition of the document itself. We paraphrase and organize that material into requirements, then build our guides and crosswalks from those requirements rather than from memory or from other websites. Each requirement is version-controlled, so its wording and its source citation have a recorded history. We do not invent clause numbers or section references: if we cannot cite it to the source, we do not publish it.

How content is reviewed

Before a requirement or guide is published, its wording is checked against the source standard it describes. After publication we re-verify on two cadences. Quarterly, we spot-check published requirements against their source standards; the first quarterly audit completes in the third quarter of 2026. Separately, when a standard or regulation is revised, we re-verify the affected requirements within thirty days of the revision being published. We do not print a “next review” date on individual pages, because a per-page promise is one we could not honestly keep across the whole library; a site-wide cadence is the commitment we can actually meet.

How errors are handled

If you find an error, email corrections@kelseyqms.com. We acknowledge every correction within five business days. Because our requirements and guides are version-controlled, the public record of what we changed and when already exists in the file history of those documents — that history is our corrections log today. If the volume of substantive corrections ever justifies a dedicated, curated log, we will publish one and link it here. Until then, a sparse page would say less than the honest answer: corrections are tracked, and the trail is public.

What this page does not claim

We are deliberate about what we do not say. We do not claim a board of credentialed experts reviews every page — we do not have one today. We do not claim a monthly review of all content; our real cadence is quarterly plus per-revision, and promising more would be a promise we would break. And we do not claim a certified or accredited editorial process, because we hold no such certification. This page describes what we actually do.
